They were just ready to fall upon the centre, when king William having passed with the left wing, composed of the Danish, Dutch, and Inniskilling horse, advanced to attack them on the right.

They were struck with such a panic at his appearance that they made a sudden halt, and then facing about, retreated to the village of Dunore.

There they made such a vigorous stand that the Dutch and Danish horse, though headed by the king in person, recoiled; even the Inniskillmers gave way; and the whole wing would have been routed, had not a detachment of dragoons, belonging to the regiment of Cunningham and Livison, dismounted, and lined the hedges on each side of the defile through which the fugitives were driven.

There they did such execution upon the pursuers as soon checked their ardour.

The horse, which were broken, had now time to rally, and returning to the charge, drove the enemy before them in their turn.
